When Should Dental Care For Your Child Start?




Don’t wait until your little one has their first tooth, proper dental care beings before your baby’s first tooth arrives.


So what should you do before your child has teeth? You can run a damp washcloth over your child’s gums each day. This will help to remove harmful bacteria that are sticking around. When you start seeing teeth, use an infant toothbrush using water and a little bit of tooth paste. Around age 2, most children can spit after brushing. Make sure to supervise your child while they brush until they are around the age of 5.

  1. As soon as any two teeth touch, make sure that you use floss to clean between your child's teeth. This is the only way to avoid decay in places where a toothbrush can't reach.

  2. The importance of dental care for children is second to none so that they are able to have beautiful smiles throughout their lifetimes. That will mean being patient and doing some of the brushing and flossing for them, even with their primary teeth.
